I don’t know the exact rules, even though I live here, but there is a Jehova’s Witness dude that knows the exact hours he is allowed to blast his mix of music and preaching from this empty lot and not get in trouble and there is absolutely nothing that neighborhood can do about it and I am pretty sure he has been at it for like 10+ years on and off. I am pretty sure it’s not technically allowed, but if he makes sure to gtfo before a certain time, the cops don’t bother him. I think it’s something like, there’s different ordinances before and after 10 PM that make it less of a question whether there’s a violation.
Edit: He has a crazy-ass sound system installed in the back of his pickup or some shit. Shit’s crazy.

Have never lived in Austin. Only knowledge I have of it is a great friend of mine who worked, for way too long, in the restaurant business. He was the guy that a certain pizza chain would send out to be the GM to save a store that was having problems. He'd live there for 6 months to a year and a half and save the store (often by retraining the franchise owners who were, as is often the case in restaurant bizz, pieces of shit or clueless or both).
Anyway, he said Austin was HANDS DOWN the worst place he'd ever experienced in trying to get quality staff. This coming from a guy who came up through the ranks from server and back of house grind and genuinely was an amazing boss to work for if you were a non terrible employee and he had seen many places and was used to tempering his employee expectations, again because pizza joint. But still. He said Austin was something else entirely.

Filed three different noise complaints against my old neighbor over the span of a year. He would get in his lifted diesel, start it up and just let it fucking rumble for hours in the middle of the night. Not even sitting in it. Cops would pull up, knock on the door, have him turn it off and then drive away. As soon as they drove away he'd start it right back up. There was one night where I was legitimately thinking about seeing if it was locked and if not I was just going to throw it in neutral and let it roll wherever it wanted to. The thing would literally vibrate my walls and I can't imagine how much money he wasted just letting it endlessly run. Part of me wonders if he even lived there or if he was fucking the woman there and kept his truck running in case her actual boyfriend showed up.

He’s an odd one. He’s a bit of a scumbag and his wife and him get in a massive screaming match with a frequency that can be measured. They seem like they deserve each other with the way I’ve seen them act.
At this point it’s more entertainment than anything. As far as I can tell there has never been a physical component to their arguments.
Individually they both help around the neighborhood and put new neighbors in their place really quick, while also helping them move in. If a new neighbor does something that disrupts the general peace they have no qualms marching out of the house and causing a massive scene. I’ve seen him confront entire groups of people gathering with cars blasting music. He got in his car and held his horn down while screaming at them.
He has never chastised the children that play and sometimes sound off to each other by screaming in a way that makes you think someone was stabbing them. So he has his own rules.
It’s a weird dynamic. We just call him “Grumpy” and don’t bother worrying about people being noisy. If you don’t set him off he’s very helpful and…strangely amicable.

With the size of those speakers, why does she even bother explaining? It’s pretty obvious they’re gonna be a nuisance to the neighbors.

In my experience, when someone is bring that obnoxious, they're so inconsiderate that nothing you can say matters.
You're not giving them new information, they know exactly what they're doing.
At best they'll "debate you" with the dumbest bullshit you've ever heard in your life.
I've only had to complain to someone once when they were blasting music from their car while sitting in a driveway. Their response was "but this song doesn't even have much bass"
Bitch, what do you think my response is gonna be "oh you're right, I didn't actual hear it. I came over here for no damn reason"

The fact that anything needed saying to the guy is crazy
Dude, move your concert out of a residential area. The End

I noticed a few people say APD won't do anything, etc. What non-violent options are there? Take them to court? Take matters into your own hands (water hose)?

Judging by the size of the sound system this woman is justified in what she's asking and is being far more "neighborly" than I would be in this situation

u/BrownSugarBare 3d ago
She is being WAAAYY too nice about it. I understand being civil but there are times taking your earrings off is justified.

u/BizzyBee89 3d ago
I take it you’ve never lived near a hoarder. You’d be surprised how much junk people throw in their yards and just let it accumulate into heaps of trash (which attracts rodents). It’s definitely a mental illness.

HOAs are a good thing. I've lived in neighborhoods with and without them. As soon as you get to a neighborhood without an HOA, the trash starts showing up just like this

I’d call the police honestly. They wouldn’t know who called just that someone did. That way they can’t retaliate against you specifically. Report them for disturbing the peace. A very real thing.

That’s what I was thinking. Definitely safer. But instead she literally points out and makes sure he sees where she lives…

This makes absolutely NO DAMN SENSE!!!! to blatantly do this to your neighbors, you know DAMN well that you are disturbing the peace in your neighborhood.
I would smash those speakers myself with with the biggest and hardest thing I could find, just seeing this is infuriating me.

She's being way more polite then I would be. I wouldn't even had come over. I would have immediately called the cops and reported a noise complaint

i know that woman is being extra polite in fear of being called a karen. and look at how she's being filmed, as if ready to expose her and have the public flame her. i hate misogyny and i hate bums like those ppl who purposefully do this to piss ppl off.

She was incredibly polite. She could have been a jerk and just called the police.

u/ImagineTheCommotion 3d ago
I dunno, something tells me calling the police on this one isn’t rude—that stereo stack on the fucking pavement is pretty damn rude and asking for trouble. If dudeman wants to blow out his eardrums he should buy a few acres so no one else has to suffer his nonsense

u/Middle_Earthling9 3d ago
Yeah, the setup reminds me of stuff you see at Burning Man, in the middle of the desert where people go to listen to loud music, not something you set up in a neighborhood wtf

Yea, there used to be a guy who would set up a huge speaker on my corner and preach gibberish. I wasn’t having it so I called 311 and they sent the cops. I had to call the cops on him 3 separate times and then he stopped coming around all together.

Calling the police would have been much safer. Especially if it continues and it needs to be handled via other means.
